Description
More than $240,000 of upgrades! Ask for a full list of upgrades since mid 2025! Tucked away in the highly sought-after River Crest and the Bellevue Forest Country Club Hills neighborhood, this beautifully expanded all-brick home offers a rare combination of classic architecture, thoughtful updates, pleasant modern touches, and everyday ease. The approach alone sets the tone—mature trees, manicured grounds, and a paver-lined driveway leading to a two-car garage create an immediate sense of arrival. Inside, the home opens into bright, welcoming, light-filled spaces designed to feel both comfortable and refined. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the main level, anchoring the home with warmth and continuity. The reimagined kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring granite countertops, professional-grade appliances, and an informal dining area that encourages casual gathering. Just beyond, an oversized dining room centered around a wood-burning fireplace offers a natural setting for memorable meals and entertaining. A standout feature of the home is the Great Room addition, where expansive windows stretch from floor to ceiling, drawing the outdoors in and filling the space with natural light. This room connects seamlessly to the backyard, creating an easy flow for indoor-outdoor living. Outside, the private setting includes a patio, small pool, and multiple seating areas surrounded by greenery—ideal for both entertaining and quiet relaxation. Notably, unlike many nearby homes, this property offers a full sense of privacy, with no neighboring views overlooking the patio or yard, preserving a peaceful and secluded atmosphere. The main level is completed by the primary suite with his-and-hers sleeping areas and a shared ensuite bath, along with two additional bedrooms served by a well-appointed hall bath, offering flexibility for guests, or home office needs. The lower level extends the living space with a relaxed, entertainment-focused design. A large recreation room includes a projector with a 120-inch screen and a wood stove that adds warmth and character. A private sauna, located adjacent to the newly completed full bathroom, provides a spa-like retreat. This level also includes a laundry room and direct access to the ground-level oversized two-car garage, which is equipped with an EV charging station. Efficiency and sustainability are built in, with fully owned solar panels helping reduce ongoing energy costs. Major system updates include fresh interior and exterior paint, full bathroom extension and upgrrades, lighting and eleectrical, flooring, windows, laundry room, other major renovations (2025-26), new Great Room windows (2024), a boiler and copper piping (2023), a complete kitchen renovation (2022), a new water heater (2026), a pool refinish (in progress), and an HVAC system (2018). Conveniently located near the GW Parkway, the home offers easy access to Washington, D.C., Reagan National Airport, and Tysons Corner, while remaining close to idyllic landscapes, local parks, trails including Potomac Heritage Trail, Potomac Overlook Regional Park, Gulf Branch Nature Center, shopping, dining, and country clubs. Zoned for Jamestown Elementary, Williamsburg Middle, and Yorktown High, this property delivers a balanced lifestyle where location, comfort, and long-term value come together seamlessly. away from the nation’s Capital, Bellevue Forest offers active community involvement and a place for people to plant their roots and enjoy every aspect of their lives.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy three kids started at Jamestown in 2010 and my youngest just graduated in 2022 and we have been overwhelming thrilled. Yes, there were changes during that 12 year period but the school was always evolving for the better. The staff ALL work so hard and do such a good job of meeting the students where they are, supporting them, and helping them grow. Certainly there were a few teachers that maybe weren't our favorite but those never lasted long as the principal is so invested in the community. She supports her staff while being responsive to parents and fostering the amazing work going on there. We feel so well served by Jamestown.Other Review2y ago - Williamsburg Middle School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePhenomenal school. My third child is there now. Rising sophomore. 2/3 with iep/504. Amazing support. Love that many of the teachers are young males who can relate to my kids. (Who also went to Yorktown). The level of classes they offer really are better than some of the private schools in the area. The communication is good But you do need to reach out. It is NOT A private school are there are many students so I formally don’t expect them to hold my hand.Parent Review8mo ago
